Hello Listers, Just to give you some ideas when you head off on your life long journey in genalogy. Now my mastery of the language of the folks across the channel is at best miserable. I wonder how they ever communicated way back when our Huguenot ancestors were arriving in England ? Now everyone knows the French language, well that is how our ancestors would have been thinking, until.... There is an hospitale yn the toun toward the south caullyd Goddes house, wheryn is a chapelle dedicate to Saynct Juliane the bisshop. Thys [ho]spitale was foundyd by 2. [march]auntes beyng bretherne, [whereof] the one was caullyd Ge[rvasius, the o]ther Protasius, [of the sayntes day by likelih]od that they were [borne]. Yes fellow listers, this fellow was describing the then Wallon church in Hampshire, or God's House chapel and now better known as St. Juliens. The highly educated, chappie, was trying to tell us about the church. Minn's translates the text to more modern English in this way by telling us that "it was founded by Gervase le Riche, prepositus of Southampton in 1185. It was granted by Edward III. to Queen's College, Oxford, and the use of the chapel, now known as the French Church, was conceded to Walloon refugees by Queen Elizabeth." Yup! English aint wut it wuz. Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
